Biography
Jason Michaels was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1979, and he was involved in crime as a teenager. In 1997, he was arrested for grand larceny at the age of eighteen, and he would become a member of The Lost MC outlaw biker gang around that time. In 1999, Michaels received another conviction for hijacking, followed by a 2003 conviction for possession of methamphetamine. Michaels became a patched member of The Lost MC during the mid-2000s, and he was close to the acting head of the New Jersey chapter, Johnny Klebitz. The NYPD suspected Michaels of being a pimp after seeing him with young women on several occasions, and he was also seen with the daughter of Russian Mafia boss Mikhail Faustin in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn several times. In 2008, Faustin decided to order a hit on Michaels as he met with his daughter at Coney Island, where he planned to have sex with her under the pier. Hitman Nikolai Bellic arrived at the scene, scaring Michaels away. Michaels was gunned down during a chase on the highway, and his body was run over by Bellic's stolen car, killing him. Lost MC president Billy Grey would blame the Angels of Death for his death, and he pursued retaliation for his murder by destroying their clubhouse.
